What is Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia?

The diagnosis of staphylococcal infection mainly depends on the clinical manifestations of different parts of the infection, and the pictures or culture of relevant samples (including blood, pus, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, feces, secretions, etc.) to find the pathogens. Furuncle, carbuncle, abscess, palpebral adenitis, folliculitis, paronychia and other skin and soft tissue infections are easy to identify and generally will not cause misdiagnosis.

Staphylococcus aureus infection should be distinguished from scarlet fever. Compared with the past, the number of patients with scarlet fever has decreased, but the number of atypical cases has increased. The reason is that the independence of Streptococcus itself is not very strong, and it is still sensitive to penicillin, so the effect of penicillin treatment will be obvious.

Staphylococcal pneumonia should be differentiated from caseous pneumonia, gram negative bacilli pneumonia, lung abscess and lung cancer. Staphylococcus, can infect any part of the body, and the symptoms are also affected by the site, the performance of infection can be from very light to life-threatening.
